Appeal Court Claim - Parking Eye?

StirfryKing

Hi,

I received a claim form from the County Court Business Centre regarding an ongoing claim for a parking charge from ParkingEye.

The claim was that no parking ticket was purchased for a stay of 34 minutes, 14 minutes over the allocated free period. However I am made to believe the following day the same vehicle purchased a parking ticket that well exceeded the time required and therefore more than covered the total time parked over the course of the 2 visits.

Would that be much of a defense?

I have read the information provided in post #5 of the 'Newbies! Need help with a private parking ticket? Read this before posting!!!!!!!!!!' thread.

But most of the evidence and information appears to point to defending the case in court which I would prefer to avoid.

When appealing through the claim online, would it be worth trying to settle for a charge of £5-10? Would the above defense be worth pushing as part of the appeal?

Thanks

not a hope in hell

you are talking about parkinglie ....... they loose money on every court claim ....... they want your blood as an example to others :eek:...

what appeal ? ... sadly if court papers have been issued then you have missed all the appeals ....... £5-10 ??? parkinglie want £100+ so do you think they will accept?

you need to read the newbie thread again and any multitude of parkinglie threads found by searching the forum.

did you ignore all the previous letters they sent?

...although we understand why some people feel that fighting a court case is not something they want to engage with.

As others have said, there is no 'appeal' once it reaches the claim stage.

Your choices are simply 1) Defend it, 2) Admit and pay, or 3) Ignore, get a default CCJ and wait for the bailiffs to arrive.

If you opt for 1), then you have to be prepared to go to Court and argue your case.

But saying that you paid more than was necessary the following day, so that makes up for the shortfall the previous day, is likely to make even the most stony faced Judge snigger.

Barry Beavis ignored them and went to court 3 times, so dont think they will let you off lightly just because its a P & D car park instead of a free one like the one he overstayed in

and as mentioned above, once its at court stage the time to appeal has long gone, its fight and defend/pay/ignore , your choice which (fight being the best option)

they are in it to win so dont care about your overpayment another day or any offer to pay £5 or £10 , so you need to wake up and smell the coffee, this is real and they are prepared to go to the Supreme Court if they have to, so start fighting back and do some research

and remember, its no longer an appeal, its a court case in small claims court
